The type of movies l like
On Sunday we had power shut down from 9 am – 5.30 pm. I saw the later half of ‘Kannadi Pookall’ - கண்ணாடி பூக்கள் . I haven’t heard of this movie before. But when I turned on the TV, I found the movie very powerful that I watched it almost till the end.
It is an emotional drama dwelling on a sensitive theme. The movie is about the seven-year-old boy Vasu, who unable to tolerate the 'competition' for parental love kills his younger baby brother spraying a disinfectant.
Master Ashwin as Vasu is brilliant in his acting. The child brought tears into my eyes, when he cried so pathetically ‘I am sorry, I didn’t mean to do it’. The child displayed each emotion so perfectly. His childish innocent face was an added advantage for the role. For me the extraordinary performance by the young boy is the highlight of the movie.
Actress Kaveri plays the stepmother’s role so perfectly. The character is portrayed without any blemish, yet is believable. She brings out the anguish of losing one child and another accused of murder without any histrionics.
Everybody was honest, open and straightforward. There was no bad guy in the movie. I was worried the juvenile home warden would treat Vasu very cruelly. Luckily the movie took a turn just then and ends happily with the family together back again.
It is the chance of unexpectedly coming across such serious and sensitive movies that still tempt me to surf through the channels on a lazy Sunday afternoon.
i find such movies difficult to watch, there is so much violence and sorrw around us , i like clean, wholesome movies like Quick Gun Murugan and the Harry Potter series.
ReplyDeleteFirst, Jaya, Congrat on ur own blog which I have been planning to do for long. By habit and necessity, to some extent for choosing movies for our festival, I see all sorts of movies...Anyway, what appeals to u and touches ur sentiments, drawing some tears, even the happy type, without ur knowing, just like the one u had mentioned (and given ur reason for it) is always the one that appeals to ur subconscious mind. In fact, just now sitting comfortably at Houston in the Home Theatre, I saw the movie PRECIOUS (which deservedly got 2 Oscars this year) which gives a telling msg on juvenile neglect of children in Black Community in Harlem. Then again will never recommend movies to others knowing my taste for all types except comedies (dont know why)......regards.....cheema
